Every year there are new smartphones, more and more powerful and voracious. But mobile batteries are not developing as fast as we would like. Therefore, you may need a power bank - a compact external battery that will recharge your phone in the absence of sockets.
Portable power supplies, unlike the same smartphones and other types of advanced technology, can not boast of a special variety. And this is quite logical. But there are some things you need to know about them.
How to choose a good power bank?
Capacity
The most important parameter of an external battery is its capacity, which the manufacturer usually indicates in milliampere-hours (mAh). Roughly speaking, this is the amount of energy that a power bank can store (but not transmit).
Please note: due to the fundamental laws of physics, no external battery can transfer 100% of the stored energy and no smartphone can fully absorb the energy received. Part of the resource is always lost when the voltage is converted, and a certain amount goes into heat.
Connectors and cables
Many external batteries, especially budget models, are sold without wires. It is assumed that you will use the USB cable that comes with your smartphone to connect. In this case, make sure that the end of this wire (most often a USB-A or USB-C port) matches the type of output connector on the power bank.
Supportoffast charging
Let's say you found an external battery with a suitable current output, but the included plug still charges the smartphone faster. What's the matter? Most likely, your smartphone supports some kind of accelerated charging technology like Quick Charge 3.0, Quick Charge 4.0, or a variant with its own name from a specific manufacturer (for example, mCharge from Meizu). Look for a power bank that is friendly with the fast charging technology that is used in your smartphone.
